Roof and Site Work

The latest pictures at http://www.briarcliffmanorlibrary.org/photos.html show that indeed, the roof is going on and trim work is being applied. In one photo you can see the pile of boulders that will be removed in order to create the circular drive in front of the Library.

The site is truly humming - with all trades on hand, work being done both inside and out, and trucks delivering new building supplies regularly.

The Roof is Next!

Roofing shingles are due to be delivered tomorrow, so look for roofing to commence next week. Site work will be coming soon, particularly grading the rough areas, installing sidewalks and completing parking lots. The contractor will begin work near the new building and continue up to Pleasantville Road.

Inside the building, duct work for the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning is almost complete; the plumbers are hard at work installing pipes; and the electricians will begin to rough-in their lines this week. Almost all of the framing is complete, so it is easy to see what the finished spaces will look like.

Mid July Progress report

During July and August, Parking Lot and Site Work will resume. Parking in the Library lot may be limited or even non-existent at times. But the Library will be open and ready for business. Parking will always be available at Atria for a quick walk through Law Park.

The stair case leading down to the building from the park is also due for re-construction. The Village Building Department assures me that only half of it will be impassable at any time… Again, we will persevere!

You can see that the windows are now installed in the addition and I am told that 80% of the HVAC duct work is completed on the second floor. Electrical work will begin around the 21st of July and Plumbing should begin the week after. So all of the trades will be on site as the building continues to take shape!
